The President of Iran states that currently, those who should provide opinions to solve the country's problems lack knowledge and expertise, having taken positions without being experts, and have become 'experts and directors based on someone else's recommendation.' Masoud Pezeshkian, on Thursday, December 8, during a meeting with members of the Medical Society at the Academy of Medical Sciences, also referred to the country's problems and said: 'It cannot be that 45 years have passed since the revolution and the country's situation worsens day by day... If we had taken the right path, we would not be at this point now.' He further emphasized that he is not pursuing political or factional thoughts in managing the country and added: 'If we can entrust affairs to those who can execute them correctly, we will not have problems.' The issue of ineffective managers in the Islamic Republic and their role in economic problems and resource waste has been discussed in electoral debates, and Masoud Pezeshkian has described the country's problems as 'management without expertise and inexperienced individuals.' However, his reference to the declining trend over the past 45 years regarding managers and their 'lack of expertise' is a new topic. His criticism of the qualifications of those who operate as 'experts' in the Iranian government comes at a time when he repeatedly emphasized the need to refer to the opinions of 'experts' during the electoral campaign. On the other hand, during the second round of debates, Saeed Jalili accused Masoud Pezeshkian of 'lack of planning.' The President of Iran has also repeatedly stated during electoral debates and since taking office as the head of the fourteenth government that he does not intend to fundamentally change the course of policies or implement new programs and policies. He has always said that the policies are the same 'general policies' of the system and the leader of the Islamic Republic, and what the government has done in the past based on expertise has become law. He emphasized that he selected his ministers with 'coordination' from Ali Khamenei.
